Alta Via 1

Avons réservé notre voyage dans les Dolomites en décembre pour un trek fin août. Un peu long avant d’avoir la réponse finale. Malgré les 9 mois d’avance, n’avons pu avoir 2 refuges sur 7. Avons apprécié les informations de Bookatrekking et les rappels. L’application mobile est utile mais manque de détails/ informations tels altitude en temps réel, temps estimé résiduel, refuges ou restos sur le parcours pas toujours mentionnés, nom des montagnes…

Nous avons vécu une expérience extraordinaire à réaliser l'ascension du Huayna Potosi, une expérience difficile mais dont nous ressortons plus fiers que jamais. Les guides qui nous ont accompagnés ont été d'une réelle aide au point d'être en partie responsables de notre réussite ! Tout a été fait pour améliorer notre confort et nous laisser nous concentrer sur notre acclimatation à l'altitude et sur les efforts nécessaires à la réussite de l'ascension. Encore merci !

The Bookatrekking app was so helpful and imformative from the time our booking was confirmed through to completion of our trek. Great guidance of what to expect, tips & videos, planning, accommodation choices and live navigation app during the trek (especially reassuring as some trail signage was a bit confusing).

Easy to use app with clear instructions which made the hut to hut hiking directions seamless. Awesome itinerary with great huts booked, very handy to have the bookings covered for us

Beautiful trails, great huts

It was a wonderful trip, the adventure of my life. Wandering along the mountain trails of the Dolomites at every bend you discover a new view that takes away speech. Trekking in this place is a constant delight and a sense of freedom. Here the man really feels that he is alive! The organization was very good, there were no problems with accommodation and food.

Communication as timely and relevant. Maps were good.

Booking the trek was very easy, and since it was late in the summer this was the only way to get places in the rifugios. Communication with bookatrekking was great - I talked with one of their people online before going, and also communicated with them on Whatsapp during the trek itself. The app works well and provided necessary information before and during the hike. The only issue we had was that it wasn't possible to change the course length for each day since the rifugios were pre-booked. The second day was extremely hard, and we decided to just skip it and take the bus to the next rifugio. If I had more flexibility I would have chosen to split it up to two days.

They were on top of everything and answered all of my questions in a timely manner. Everything was given to us at the time that we needed the information. From booking our Rifugios to having our online maps.

All of the accommodations were taken care of for us

Book a trekking was great! Handled all the logistics for us so we just had to show up. The Refugio’s they booked were very nice as well. Being able to use the app to navigate was helpful, it shows all the trails so you can go the suggested route or “choose your own adventure.” Would definitely use again!

It was great not having to worry about the logistics of navigating and booking rifugios. When I had a concern about one day being too long, we made adjustments prior to departure and they eased our concerns. Bookatrekking was very responsive! We had one hiccup with a rifugio not having our reservation on file, but because of their reputation/relationship, we were taken care of within moments.

We had an amazing trek through the Dolomites & everything went smoothly with our accommodations!

Great experience in the Dolomites with good choice of Refugios ( we ate very well)

Knowing what to expect, having accommodation and itinerary arranged, reasonable cost, good communication when required prior to our trip, great app and navigation tool. We would like to comment that some of the track markers were faded and a bit confusing even looking at a paper map. Without your navigation tool, we would struggle at times. The track numbers when shown were hard to match to map at times.

The accommodation before and after the trek was superb. The refugios were amazing. The app was really helpful and I downloaded Komoot to import the gpx files for easy navigation. It made the whole experience really easy. Well priced for amazing adventures.

All went to plan, great info and advice. Responsive team.

Everything was great. Maybe let people know they will have to pay for showers. We didn’t know this going in.

Was a brilliant walk, great accommodation, maps easy to follow, really enjoyed the walk, just make sure you have plenty of cash for the last 3 days, as some Refugio’s only take cash. Would definitely use booker trekking again.

Loved the views! Fantastic multi day hike!

Well organised. Bookings all went smoothly. Offline map was helpful although we also relied on the physical map. Good communication and updates. Questions before the hike were answered. Really helpful information such as the packing list. I would definitely use Bookatrekking again.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Bookatrekking. We had such an amazing experience hiking the Alta Via 1 in the Dolomites and there were zero hiccups during our trip. Not only did the team at Bookatrekking organize our trip extremely well and ensured we had everything we needed before leaving, but downloading the trail and our itinerary with the App was a game changer. I will be using Bookatrekking again!

All was perfection organized by Bookatrekking although there was many people in refugios. And with a good weather and beautiful landscape this trekking will be a wonderful experience Thanks

Everything was well laid out and executed. The phone app for the hike was great with the map for tracking the trail each day in Offline mode. All the details were there. Communications before the hike were good. I'd be happy to use this service again.

Everything is taken care of. The navigation, booking at the hut and detailed information about your hike is given. They also replied kindly to any questions you might have. This made me feel safe and prepared and the hike was amazing. Thank you!

Bookatrekking were very helpful in securing us a spot on the Alta Via 1! They were great in their communications and made the experience easy. The app you are supplied with for maps is amazing and easy to use. They provided so much info about the trip, what to bring, etc. I will definitely do another multi-day hike via Bookatrekking. Thank you!

Beautiful setting - very nice accommodations and helpful staff

We highly recommend Bookatrekking. Superb support and organization, and designed a 4-day Dolomite trek to meet our timeframe and plan. I felt like we had a real connection with the team and that I could call them up to discuss our next adventure. Will absolutely use Bookatrekking again in the future!

Nice to do the hike without organising the huts and tracks

They took a lot of the research, guesswork, and stress out of planning our trek in the dolomites. The guide they sent us was also incredibly helpful. You could book it all yourself if you are so inclined but contacting many of the huts is a little difficult, so this is by far the simpler method.

Bookatrekking agents we’ve been working with are very professional. They’re very responsive and communicate with different options they worked out. They were supporting us even when we were already in the trails and very flexible to help adjust our lodging as we requested which is one of the things I really appreciated and also proves the value of using agents’ service vs booking and planning everything by ourselves. I highly recommend using their services in a heartbeat.

We hiked for 2 days before we got hit with 17” snow. The views were simply beautiful. Bookatrekking.com was always helpful. This is our 2nd hike with them. They credited us 50 euros for each day each person for the Refugio not used yet. If you have a chance to hike the Alta Via 1, don’t miss out.

Everything was perfect, expect Rifugio Staulanza. Uniformly he hikers found the owners very unfriendly. The food at Staulanza was also markedly of lower quality than the other Rifugio's.

My wife and I decided on hiking the Alta Via 1 for our honeymoon. I reached out a year in advance to begin the booking process only to be told by multiple places that they were either full or hadn't started booking yet. My wife is a planner and wanted to have our itinerary set in stone as soon as possible. With that in mind, Bookatrekking made the process of securing refugios each night totally painless. We were somewhat concerned that, being a more budget friendly option, Bookatrekking would set us up with worse facilities. That was definitely not the case! We greatly enjoyed the lodging each night. In addition, our trip wound up being cut short by a day due to a freak snowstorm and the company was responsive and accomodating in taking care of us. We were both very impressed with the quality of the service and would definitely use them again!

This was a great trek; the rifugio bookings were seamless and the trail easy to follow

Great service and accomodating when we wanted to make changes to the itinerary.

Overall a good job, but they did initially have us going to the wrong refugio. But after contacting them they were able to correct it.

The adventure was great. We really enjoyed staying in rifuggios. I recommend this trek to everyone but I would like to emphasize the bookatrekking team. The were extremely helpful, kind and the contact was flawless. Nonetheless you get a whole ebook about the trek, what to bring, maps, itinerary etc. Seriously worth it.

Overall everything was great but some tips to consider: hotel Cristallano charges to hold bags - we were unaware of this even after contacting to hotel directly. Their breakfast starts at 7:30am and most people will be trying to catch the 8:05 bus to lake braises. The bus stop is 1.5kms away from the hotel making this situation near impossible. We started our hike on a near empty stomach. Met other bookatrekkers who had a different hotel close to bus stop and a breakfast at 7am.

Fabulous adventure! The landscape is amazing! We were given all the information so it was easy to get to the starting point, navigate the route. The only problem was the lack of sleep in the dorms, but it’s part of the mountain experience.

The mountains were awesome, never seen something like that.

Bookatrekking.com services were excellent. Communication was clear and prompt. No problems from the bookings! Some of the Refugios were very sub par. Dirty. Bad attitudes. Terrible food. While others were wonderful experiences.

Easy and convenient way to experience Alta Via 1. No hassle with booking the huts. Bookatrekking agents were friendly and answered emails quickly.

I liked that everything was simple and organised, the contact people from Bookatrekking were friendly and available, they arranged everything and communicated clearly. I really liked my experience with them!

It was very convenient to have the refugios prebooked. My main suggestion for improvement would be to provide more flexibility to add a day or two more to the trek so that the daily distance could be reduced (because of the extreme amount of climbing and descent each day). Also the packing list could be customized by month to reduce weight further in the warmest part of the season (we went in mid to late July).

The trip was great. All my Refugio’s were expecting me as planned. The hikes were challenging. Be cardio ready and hit the stairmaster hard.

We have booked Alta Via 1 8 days and it was amazing. We have accomplished the entire trail and met amazing people. The guidebook was well prepared with all necessary details. The only thing I would add would me some more motivational details per day, something like “after the last ascent, there will be much flatter and easier to hike” especially for long days 🤞

We had everything that we needed for our first hut to hut trek and felt confident with the written guide and bookings that bookatrekking took care of for us. The price was reasonable and we felt like we paid for what we were wanting. We preferred a self guided trek and bookatrekking took out the guess work of making that possible!

Organised our rifugios and route plans at a very reasonable price

Worth doing to enjoy magnificent views, great Rifugios and be at ease following the way. All part of the information package organized by Bookatrekking. Traveling with boys and friends, Bookatrekking makes planning easier and off-loads responsibility, while resting assured it will all work out just fine. The laking star corresponds to the last day trek (followed given Komoot way) which was below par.

Beautiful scenery and helpful staff at Bookatrekking - I was not able to secure refugio reservations until I turned to Bookatrekking. I would classify they family friendly hike as a little more difficult than advertised but in some cases that was because there was still snow on the ground. Overall - I do not know many 8 year olds that would do well on that hike

Sleeping arrangements and navigational tools were good

The 4-day short alta via 1 hike was amazing! Incredible scenery. Loved it. Thanks to bookatrekking for organising everything.

Made the whole experience smooth and easy .

Easy trekking. With a group of 8 men doing the Alta Via Uno. Bookatratrekking arranged all the huts. Perfect.

Very through and responsive. Our trek and accommodations were great.

Bookatrekking did a great job putting together a short section of the Alta Via 1 for us. They communicated with the Rifugios and managed to get us a private room for one night when we had been unable on our own. As for the Alta Via 1 itself, it was occasionally challenging and always gorgeous

I was honestly hesitant booking through Bookatrekking - they have pretty good prices in comparison to other companies. So I expected some difficulties in quality. But they were amazing from the very first day - easy to get a hold of, ready to answer all questions, in touch while on trek. We had no difficulties during the whole time we were doing Alta Via. The receptionists in the rifugios know the company and find your booking right away. Bookatrekking saved me so much time and stress 😬 Definitely recommend, definitely booking other trips with them in the future.

We were kept well informed in the lead up for our trip Alta Via 1 , any questions I asked were quickly replied . The use of the Komoot app was a godsend . The checking in at the rifugios was smooth . Would happily recommend and use Bookatrekking again .

I was very pleased with Book-a-Trekking. They helped me plan and organize my Alta Via 1 hike. They were quick to respond to my questions and provided me with all the information I needed.

We had a great hiking from hut to hut on the Alta Via 1 trail in the Dolomites. We were very happy with the organizing of the huts- everything was clear, and every time we got to the hut the check in was smooth. You have selected good huts to stay in- we were very happy with the experience. Thank you very much!

Excellent trek — a bit aggressive but that’s what we booked! Seamless and easy to work with — nice to have all Rifugios booked and expecting us!

The tour was great, but things some things could have been better: - warning about heavy traffic in Italy in mid-August - time estimates for each day in the tour - misleading information on the availability of insurance from Komoot - lack of good vegetarian alternatives in the huts

This trip was absolutely incredible! We love the Refugios that we’re chosen for us and would. Or have changed anything about the trip if we had booked it ourselves! The trail is challenging and beautiful and we loved every section. Definitely do this trip!

The service was very smooth, always available and friendly. The set up is professional and the adjustments are quick when needed. Some points for improvement: the guide we received did not quite match the actual sections of the hike we were doing: The guide was a standard one to sections between huts we didn't stay at. It would have been better to have the guide more accurately adjusted to the actual sections (huts) we stayed at. Secondly, we were told we must bring liners to the huts but that wasn't necessary in any of the huts. Other than these small points it was all good.

The alta via 1 is an incredible adventure that is accessible to novice hikers. It was my first ever such trek and will definitely not be last. All the huts were booked with no problem. Thanks so much bookatrekking!

This is a challenging but exciting and rewarding hike with more natural beauty than anyone can handle. Sunrise on Rifugio Lagazuoi was a particular highlight! Guidance from bookatrekking was concise and helpful, and emails during the countdown to my holidays particularly welcome and useful. No hitches whatsoever with the booking; the "bookend" hotels before and after were very comfy.

Made our Alta Via 1 hike possible - reservation ved all mountain huts, provided helpful instructions

Was easy to establish a good hiking route. Excellent follow up before the hike.

The Dolomites are extraordinary and the Alta Via 1 is the best way to experience them. The accommodation was fine and the itinerary well-paced. I also met loads of fellow hikers from all over the world. A great trip.

The hut arrangements worked well and were everything we hoped. Bookatrekking provided the information we needed about the trek. They also responded timely to questions. The hut operators said they liked working with the company.

Didn't have any issue with the reservations.

I liked having all my places booked. Thank you! I wish I could have had better service in downloading the Koomot maps. I was the only one who was able to do that out of my group of four. When I asked for more help, it really wasn't given adequately. Appreciated the free drink at Aberge Mt Blanc:) Loved our treks, both Alta via and TMB. The only Refugio that was not very good was Vallercine, wished we could have been at Tissi instead. At Vallercine we were put in an old musty molding shed. All in all the trek was a fabulous experience

Bookatrekking did a super job preparing our trip, they booked everything and provided us with information and support. It would have been really challenging to book this on our own. The Komoot app worked really well & the walking distances each day were calculated well. The rifugios were usually very comfortable with a good evening meal. The breakfast wasn’t as good. The only problem we had was that the app and guide book sent us down quite a dangerous via ferrata without the necessary equipment. We were fine, but in hindsight this should have been flagged in the app/ booking with information on an alternative route or information to carry and use the correct safety gear.

Bookatrekking.com is fantastic value After initially trying to construct an itinerary for an Alta Via 1 hike it proved too challenging to make all of the necessary contacts at the various refugios and get all of the dates aligned. So after researching companies that provide this booking service I chose Bookatrekking based on their reviews and their affordable pricing. The trip experience was great and their were no issues at all with the arrangements that Bookatrekking provided. I did have to contact them for a couple of questions and they always replied promptly and answered my questions. During my trip I met several other people that also used Bookatrekking and they all shared with me that they had a very positive experience with them.

The service was fast and concise. And once booked we got a wealth of information that was really helpful. Everything worked out perfectly! Definitely would recommend this service.

Easily booked the Dolomites for two people. No running around websites trying to navigate the Italian and German. Well worth the money.

The trip was amazing. We enjoyed a lot the Alta Via 1. Considering the restrictions in huts avalability due to late booking, we are very happy with the result. There are a few thing that I would like to mention so perhaps can help in future trips: Huts: Most of the huts were amazing, clean, good food and pretty nice attention. There were two exceptions: Pederu (hotel) the room was super clean, but the staff and the food are certainly not something that you will remember... There was however one awful "hut" (to be honest it was a hotel near the road) that I would not recommend to anyone. Passo di Staulanza was awful, we were 14 people in a tiny room with access to only one bathroom. Obviously the hotel did not take any covid measurement. The food was terrible I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, particularly if you are doing the Alta Via 1, there are way better places than this. Booking experience: Bookatrekking stuff was avaliable to our questions so I would recommend them to anyone that wants to make this trip and does not have time to book it themselves.

The trail was amazing an easy to follow, made some bookatrekking friends on the way. Offline map was not always accurate and its super nice that they do all the reservation work, it can be a nightmare!

My friend and I used Bookatrekking to secure our accommodations for the TMB, after trying for several weeks to arrange them ourselves without success. Overall we had a positive experience and would recommend Bookatrekking for hikers who want to save themselves the hassle of setting up nightly lodging along their route. We didn't know when we paid for the service that we would also get free access to the Bookatrekking app. Overall, this was a big plus! The app is well-designed, consolidated all lodging info in one convenient place, and provided generally good navigation and info on each day's distance and elevation change. Some details of our itinerary were less than ideal (two very short hiking days in a row, followed by two very long ones in a row, for example) but it seemed everyone on the TMB had to finagle their route here and there to make it work, so this wasn't unique to Bookatrekking! All the days were doable. We wished the app included more information on what to expect for amenities and meals at each hut/refuge (for example, knowing which huts have laundry facilities and which huts serve scant breakfasts would help with planning). I did some in-depth research on Google instead, so we generally knew what to expect at each place, but most of our fellow Bookatrekking travelers did not. The other issue we and others had with the app was the navigation feature. Having nav right on the app was very convenient, but there were multiple (mostly short) sections of the trail where the app's route differed from posted signage. We always followed the app, and sometimes its alternate routes worked out well or seemed like improvements over the marked trail, but other times the app's routes were illogical or inconvenient. If the app is going to diverge from posted signs of a trail as well-marked as the TMB, we felt it should at least offer an explanation so hikers can make an informed choice on which route to follow. Finally, the app's daily route summaries gave us a false sense of security, so to speak, and we wish we had ignored them and relied on our guidebook instead. If Bookatrekking is going to offer these summaries, they should be more detailed. For example, one variant we took, the Fenêtre d'Arpette, was simply described in the app as "challenging but rewarding." It turned out to involve a long section of technical bouldering, which we handled fine, but less experienced/fit trekkers would have been hard pressed to navigate. All in all we had an amazing time on the TMB, Bookatrekking was a reliable service to set up lodging, and their app has a lot of potential but could use more detail!

Communication and planning was good, main problem was their new app is nowhere near the level of komoot or all trails in terms of being able to navigate. Offline can be a bit buggy as well.

The accommodations were each good and we were booked to stay, for dinner and breakfast. The best food was in the last Rifugio Passo Valle closely followed by Rifugio Contrin and Casteglioni. The map and instructions guide in advance were very helpful in planning. When we walked the map unfortunately disappeared at times. The descriptions of the walks were brief and did not reflect the degree of difficulty involved. If written by a walker they probably would have better reflected the route. We enjoyed the walk.

Whilst the booking process was smooth, there was not much willingness to look into other potential dates in order to try and secure more private rooms The pre trip information was comprehensive and included valuable tips. The app was quite slick and well designed

Refugio Huts booked were excellent. no problems at any refugios. Hike routing was well described. Trip description was a bit misleading.

The convenience has to be the best thing about bookatrekking, which is ideal if you have no prior experience of organising your own hut-to-hut trip. Although the price is quite steep compared to booking refuges yourself, the interactive app with information and map is really great. We used booktrekking for the dolomites and would recommend for this area. Others we met on our trip had also used booktrekking for a Kilimanjaro trip and were using them again for the dolomites after a successful trip.

Had a wonderful time hiking the full Alta Via 1 including hotel before and after. Everything was I expected until day 8, the last day, from Rifugio Pramperet. Overnight I was extremely sick and had to take an easier route to Forno di Zoldo instead of the traditional route to the Pissa bus stop. At Forno di Zoldo I met a fellow hiker that stayed that same evening at Rifugio Pramperet and also had to take the easier route, who told me she was sick too. We narrowed it down to the lunch of spaghetti and meat we both had upon arrival. Being extremely weak, totally dehydrated by my overnight ordeal, hiking that day was the most difficult thing I have ever done.

The trek was well organized from mountain cabin to cabin, it was worrieless and there was a great navigation app to follow the route. The signs were well marked along the route but the first trek to Grialetsch hütte we didn't see the signs which were following the navigation so we ended up on a higher route (climbing over rocks etc, a T3 trek). When we arrived at the hütte the manager said that "All Dutch take the T3 route..." so there must be something wrong in the signposting.

We recently used Bookatrekking.com for our hike in the Dolomites. The company offered plenty of choices to trek through these beautiful mountains at a very reasonable cost. We ultimately chose the first half of the classic Alta via 2 route. Overall I think the itinerary was very good. The 6 day trek was just right for me and offered a perfect time to get a taste of hiking through the Dolomites. Last year we did the haute route using the same company and the 12 days of trekking was pushing my limits. I loved the choice of huts along this route. The downloadable itinerary with descriptions of each daily trek with GPS maps were extremely user friendly. I liked staying at the Boe hut rather than the Pisciadu hut (that is in the Cicerone book) was a much better choice. It made for a longer trek but is well worth it. I also enjoyed trekking together with the same people that had booked the same itinerary through their company. Being assigned our meals at the same table each day allowed us to make some true friends along our journey. Finally, I thought your staff was extremely friendly, courteous, knowledgeable, and quick to respond to my queries. This has been my second trip using Bookatrekking.com and have already planned my next years trip with them as well.

Very organized. Nice front end and back end accommodations. All huts provided adequate food and water, showers, beds. All very clean. Rosetta hut was least favorite of our group. Bread only for breakfast and upcharge for meat or yougurt. No showers. Also think Via Ferrata gear should ABSOLUTELY be required for this hike. Very dangerous without it. 80 people have already died in Dolomites sine June 21st including a German man right by Mulaz. Think you need to explain to all how difficult this hike is and dangers of exposure. You booked a group of American business men who shadowed us who had never hiked before. They were totally unprepared without the fitness level or skills to do this hike.

It was the hike overall. There was some things that were not ideal with the service - for instance, there is a recommendation to take a paper map, but when I requested suggestions on the map, there was no reply from my email request. Was concerned about navigation, and while the app worked on some phones, it did not work on my phone without wifi particularly for the alternative routes. Having said that, would book again in a heartbeat when I can arrange to get myself to the Alps!

The huts were clean, beds comfortable, and meals were good. I was not happy with the company supporting travels from out of the country. There is no phone number to call and email responses were short, lacked detail and took several days to receive. We experienced heavy rain and snow and there was no information on how to navigate alternate options, routes or services in these cases. I do not feel as though this company provides good support for first timers of this type of experience.

We had an incredible 4-day hiking trip in Triglav National Park!! The routes bookatrekking gave us were the perfect length and the gps navigation software within the app was helpful and reliable. Would book again with bookatrekking.

It was an amazing experience. The hike was beautiful and the huts were cosy. However it would have been nice to have been able to shower. Also to have known that the final stretch to the Triglav was really more climbing than hiking and actually quite dangerous going down. In addition, we were told to follow the red dots, but these lead us off the route almost at the start already.

The app provided by Bookatrekking was useful, until it wasn’t… it took us down an unsafe, vertical segment of the route, which required us to crawl down various ledges with our hands and feet, and coach each other on footholds. This was unnecessary and avoidable by going a different route. At the end of the trek, it indicated the bus stop was in a different location than in reality, which caused us to almost miss the bus. It would have been nice to have known which rifugios do not take credit cards, so that we could more properly plan for bringing cash. We did not have an issue, but others did. Overall we immensely enjoyed our hike and there were no other hitches besides what I described above. It was nice to not have to stress over the rifugio reservation process.

Easy booking and navigation worked well for us. However, the only problem was that the trek Alta Via del Granito - Classic wasn't correctly classified (T2) or at least the description should mention that the hike is technically difficult and not suitable for beginners. I have done TMB, Mt.Toubkal and other technically quite difficult trails but none were as difficult as this one. It wasn't a problem for me, but my companion was on her first hike. The path is mostly exposed, with a real danger of falling, mostly unsteady footing. The 2nd day before the rifugio cima d'asta the ascent was crazy technical and would really benefit from some ropes or chains, as the path was marked on an almost vertical slab and I personally have never experienced a hike where I was that scared to actually fall off the mountain. Again, an experienced hiker can find their way, but way too dangerous not to mention it in the description. Please add it, because the trek is technically challenging for sure.

Here is your translated review in English: --- My experience with the company was mostly positive, though there are a few areas that could use improvement. Let’s start with the positives: the booking process is intuitive, clear, and user-friendly. The information available in the app is helpful and well-organized for the trip, containing most of what you need to set out properly. The navigation app is overall effective and highly accurate (though there were three points where it missed the mark, so it's important to stay alert), and most of the accommodations booked were of a reasonable standard. I’d also like to highlight the company’s flexibility in dealing with a complex situation that almost forced me to postpone the trip. They allowed me to delay it by a full year, which I truly appreciate and deserves recognition. In terms of what could be improved, I’d suggest adding more detailed information about the types of accommodations—for example, on the last night we arrived at a place with no host at all, which wasn’t clear in advance. There were also a few issues related to information accuracy that somewhat affected the experience. For instance, the trek ends at a location from which you need to take a cable car (costing €18.5) to reach Chamonix, yet the app stated the trek ends in Chamonix itself. These kinds of inaccuracies can be frustrating in real time—not because of the cost, but due to the surprise factor. Regarding accommodations, there was a lack of consistency in quality. Also, since this is a pre-arranged full trek, I felt that the first and last nights were spent in places that didn't really suit the flow of the hike (on the first day, for example, I only walked two hours before reaching the destination). Overall, I would give the company a score of 8 out of 10. It enables people to complete a very popular trek within a relatively short timeframe. While the service fee isn’t low, it’s a worthwhile outsourcing solution. That said, as I’ve mentioned, there’s still room for better accuracy in route planning and information sharing. I can definitely see myself using the company’s services again. Thank you.

Easy booking and the app works well. However the hike was too difficult even though we booked a L2.

We have had an amazing 4 days in the Slovenian mountains. The hikes were good planned and the gps was easy to follow. Unfortunately we found out two days before departure that there was no guide available for us to take us to the summit as we had agreed. Luckily we could book one ourselves in Slovenia. Other than that bookatrekking has been very helpful and good

We had an amazing experience in the beautiful Alps. Process of purchasing was smooth. All the reservations for accommodation worked well, we liked the routes provided. App sometimes was lagging in the mountains; therefore, I have used my personal navigation app. We've got a few e-mails with some basic info about preparation before our trip. Thanks! I would wish for a faster replay to e-mails, as it took 2-3 days before we got a response. I would recommend Bookatrekking.com if you want to save your time planning your trip! Thaks for a lovely surprise on the road ♥

Beautiful hike through the Menalon Trail in the Peloponnese in Greece. The trails winds through mountains and valleys and is mostly shaded, often running by a stream. Wonderful well marked trail doable in 5 to 8 stages. But the hiking is somewhat rigorous due to long inclines and declines, but mostly due to slippery, loose rock covered trails. It takes a lot longer than you’d think. The Bookatrekking app severely underestimates daily hiking times by at least 50%. That said Bookatrekking did a great job organizing the trek and all went perfectly. Easy to use app too and the navigation tool was much better than other downloadable apps.

My wife and I did the Alta Via 1 from 21 till 28 June. We are both fit and healthy and had prepared well for the trek. Our trek coincided with high temperatures throughout Europe, and they were felt by us on the trek even at high elevations. We really enjoyed the Dolomite experience, and we were able to negotiate the Bookatrekking app to guide us on the trail. We have a few points, however, we would like to address in review: 1. The App and navigation were useful. However, the day-to-day trek descriptions lacked sufficient detail of track conditions and identification of track numbers would have been useful. In some cases, the descriptions are misleading or just wrong. For example, on Day 8 “…as you make the final descent to the La Pissa bus stop, where the Alta Via 1 ends.” The La Pissa bus stop is not where the trek ends but is approximately 500 m to the north on the opposite side of the road. By the way, walking on the busy road verge to the bus stop was one of the most dangerous parts of the whole trek (the bus timetable is also hit and miss). 2. At times the GPS update on the navigation App was slow and positions were prone to jump around. This was particularly tricky at key track intersections, when decisions of the correct direction needed to be made. Location details of potable water sources would have been useful. The elevation profile is scaled for each day and would be more useful if this retained a common scale (horizontal and vertical) across all the days. 3. The quality of the Rifugios varied greatly. We didn’t mind the older Rifugio accommodation. However, quality of service at Rifugio Passo Staulanza was very disappointing. We were accommodated in a small bunk room with 16 others. There was very little ventilation for the number of people and the humid and hot temperatures were oppressive. The number of toilets and showers were inadequate for the numbers staying. The Rifugio management was clear that there was not potable water but pro-actively sold bottled water that was witnessed to be sourced from their own taps. Water use was discouraged yet they advertised spas. Also, I ended up having a discussion with management regarding the cost of a boxed lunch that was not pleasant. In general, we would prefer to know we were paying for fixed costs (accommodation and meals) and it was a surprise to be charged for water for dinner or tokens for showers at some places. All the extra hidden costs mount up.

We wouldn’t have made it through our trek without BookATrekking’s navigation function on their App. 100% worth every penny and it was a relief knowing the didn’t have to worry about our sleeping arrangements since they booked such reputable places. 100% would recommend and use again!

I made half of AV2 and everything went very well overall. The insights and the Bookatrekking platform work very well. There are always some things to improve. For exemple at the last day of trekking we have to go to the hotel by bus, but there were no buses. They only start to operate In summer two days later at 28/6. We had to talk to someone that call a táxi for us. Also In the huts you said that dinner is included but then I have to pay for water at the meal. I understand that beers or wine arent included, but water!!

Amazing customer service! This is a very trustworthy organization. We reached out for support several times and always got a good, fast response. We look forward to using it again the future.

I recently completed the Everest Base Camp trek, and it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. The journey was made even better thanks to our amazing guide tika Rai and his brother Sherpa. From the very beginning, our guide was super friendly, knowledgeable, and always made sure we were comfortable. He explained everything—from the history of the region to the best techniques for acclimatization. His passion for the mountains was truly inspiring. Our Sherpa was equally fantastic. He was incredibly strong, always smiling, and made sure our bags arrived safely at each stop. Without him, the trek would have been much more difficult! The trek itself was breathtaking. Every day brought new, stunning landscapes—towering peaks, beautiful valleys, and charming villages. The highlight was, of course, reaching Everest Base Camp, standing at the foot of the world’s highest mountain. It was a surreal and emotional moment. I highly recommend this trek to anyone who loves adventure and nature. And if you have a great guide and Sherpa like we did, the experience becomes truly unforgettable!

I recently completed the 12-day Everest Base Camp trek with Alpine Rambles, and it was an unforgettable experience. Our guides, Purna and Dawa, were exceptional throughout the entire journey. They were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly helpful, always making sure we were comfortable and well-prepared for each stage of the trek. A huge shoutout also goes to the porters – they were brilliant and went to great lengths to carry our gear and luggage, always with a smile. Their hard work and dedication played a huge role in making the trek comfortable and stress-free for us. The trek itself was amazing – the scenery, the challenge, and the sense of accomplishment when reaching Base Camp were truly unforgettable. If you're considering this trek, I highly recommend doing it with Alpine Rambles and especially with Purna, Dawa, and the incredible porters. They really made the trip special, and I couldn’t have asked for a better team.

I did the EBC hike with Alpine Ramble Treks, the guide/porter is very experienced, which made the hike go smoothly. Highly recommended to do a hike with this company!

What a great adventure to do the Anna Purna circuit and hike to the Thorang La Pass at 5416m. Everyday was great with such a beautiful landscapes, mountains and animals. I enjoyed every single minute, although it is a bit tough to hike this high as well, the views and people made every discomfort disappear. My guide Subash was amazing, he took such a good care of me and always made sure I had a good meal and room. He knows much about the mountains and is very professional. We had much fun as well, same with the porter Arjun. The guys are amazing, I will miss their always happy smiles. I would definitely recommend to go with Alpine Ramble treks.

Our trek to the Annapurna Base Camp in early December 2024 was an unforgettable adventure, impeccably organized by Dil Gurung and his team. From the flights between Kathmandu and Pokhara and back to being picked up in Pokhara and meeting our guide and porter, renting sleeping bags and a duffle bag, every detail was handled flawlessly. Our knowledgeable guide, Iman Gurung, and our very strong porter, Laudi Gurung, were incredibly helpful and always there when we needed them. Especially on a day when we weren't feeling our best, they took great care of us. We thank Dil, Iman and Laudi for this amazing experience. If we come back to Nepal for another trip, we would be happy to do it with the same team!

I really had a great experience with Bookatrekking! Before the trekking I was in easy contact with them to get ready and I was also really happy with the Nepalese organization they work with (Alpine Ramble). I had an amazing time with Addit, our guide, and Robi and Dib, our super strong and funny porters! Would highly recommend!

I went on a solo trek to the Ghorepani Poon hill with Krishna and James. Amazing and helpful People. The trek itself had beautiful views.

We were a group of three, and we were put together with another two guys (they took age into account for a good matchup in both condition and sociability). This was our highest hike to date. The views and scenery were amazing. But what made the whole experience for us were our guide Purna, assistant guide Sajla, and porters Lauri, Min, and Home. Who didn't spare any effort in giving us the best experience possible, immersing us in local culture and ready to answer any questions along the trek.

 We used Bookatrekking..com.for our recent trek on the haute route from Chamonix to Zermatt. The company was very receptive to modifications in the agenda. They recommended several alterations in our route through alpine huts that were much better than on the “traditional route”. They kept us well informed even while we were hiking updating us on recent trail closures. The price was definitely a bargain and worth it for them to book our itinerary. I would definitely use them again, and in fact just booked the Alta route in the Dolomites for next year.

We booked to hike the TMB through Bookatrekking and it was seamless - communication was great from the start, we received all our details and information in plenty of time, and there were no hiccups along the way. Would not hesitate to recommend them and would definitely use them again for a similar trip.

I recently had the pleasure of booking a trekking adventure through Bookatrekking, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, their service was outstanding. The written hiking guide provided by Bookatrekking was incredibly detailed and easy to follow, ensuring that I felt well-prepared for every aspect of my journey. The guide included everything from essential packing lists to detailed descriptions of the trails, making my trekking experience smooth and enjoyable. One of the highlights of the service was the personal touch of receiving a phone call before the trip. This call was not only informative but also reassuring, as I was able to ask any last-minute questions and receive helpful tips from a knowledgeable representative. Overall, Bookatrekking exceeded my expectations with their excellent service and support. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to embark on a trekking adventure!

The scenery on the TMB was magnificent. Bookatrekking did a great job with securing reservations for the refuges. However, Bookatrekking could show a bit more flexibility in tailoring the reservations. I asked to have a rest day built into the itinerary but this was refused. I asked to have Days 5 and 6 changed so that Day 6 wouldn't be such a long day. This was refused.

I had to cancel a trek booking due to unexpected expenses. I have let the company know within 24 hours and I got back a full refund. Note that it was even after the booking was confirmed! Great customer services, answers quickly and with a thought :) Thanks guys.

We are looking forward to our hut to hut hiking experience! Bookatrekking set us up for lodging during peak season and even reserved a private room for us for one of the nights. 👍

Great service and advice from Sierd, including a personal video meeting, during which all questions were answered. Look forward to doing my first trip.

Even in Corona times I got top service. Planning for a tour in the Dolomites I contacted bookatrekking very early the year and got advice and support from day one. Bookatrekking notified my when booking made sense and did accomodate for my special request (to leave out one overnight stay) with no problem. Unfortunately my son hurt his knee a few days ago and we had to cancel the planned trip and chose to make a replacement booking for a trip with my wife. And again, I did not only get very nice support on the phone; I also got the new trip booked. We will definitely come back to bookatrekking next year again for the trip with my son. Thank you

Excellent service and very helpful!

Guadelupe was so helpful in planning my trip and made the whole process so much easier!

Excellent guidance in finding alternative treks. Fast answering. We are already very excited to do the beautiful treks in peru.

Guadalupe, made the planning of this trip very painless, every question was answered right away and special requests were no problem at all. With Guadalupe's help, I could not believe how easy it was. Highly recommended

Bookatrekking.com is the first, but very important step to get closer to my dream. Guadalupe was very quick on the responses, I got all answers to all my questions. She did amazing job. It is time for me-to prepare myself for that dream physically & mentally. I think another review from me could be written after all is done. I wish all good luck, & to make that dream to come true. :)

Booking was a piece of cake and the questions I asked were very promptly responded to.

Fast answers, fair price, recommended company to hike Kilimandscharo was excellent. It was Enosa expeditions

I found bookatrekking.com very helpful. They are easy to communicate with and very helpful and were able to adapt and change to booking to account for additional people. I spoke to Sierd who was extremely helpful and knowledgable about the trek I wanted to do as well as super friendly. Thanks

The whole experience from booking (in South Africa) to the arrangements in Lambok, the climb and decent I found to be excellent. Gede and his two porters were fantastic. I highly recommend using them for ascending Mt. Rinjani.

Last week I did the 6-day draw including the Toubkal and it was amazing. Everything was perfect, the food, stay, views and the locals. But certainly also the guide Mohammed Sarkozi, Hassan the cook and Watan the clown of Toubkal Guide organisation were a particularly pleasant company with their two mules. Thank you for the good service and perhaps a trip with you in the future. This trip is definitely recommended. Gr. Henk and Dane Lodder

Very quick and reliable service

I want to thank Guadalupe for helping us to find the best trip. She has been very nice, patient and she made us everything easier! 5 stars to the service!!

Sierd was very helpful and answered all my questions.

I had a great experience with Anthony and Erik and can only recommend the two to anybody unsure about the hike. They were truly supportive and motivated and helped us a lot during our summit push. Thanks!

I’ve book a Everest Trekk as a birthday present for my partner. As I don’t have any knowledge about mountains and trekking i have to say that Sierd from Bookatrekking was very helpful and patient answering all my questions, he explained me all the options i have and helped me choose the suitable one for my partner. Brilliant customer service, highly recommended. Thank you again for all your support.

Booking for Nepal trek. Sierd was brilliant with my enquiry, very friendly and responsive. Great service.

Excellent service.

Professional support, prompt and precise answers, flexibility with individiual requests and very good price/performance ratio.

Excellent help Thanks Rintsje!

The website of Bookatrekking was very helpful in finding a Himalaya trekking for me. And I booked at Nepal Eco Adventure over their site. The Nepalese company proved to be very very responsible and their guides very attentive. I felt lucky :-)

So easy to book through Bookatrekking.com. Simple, straight forward, all queries answered promptly - highly recommend :)
